For the past week or so, I’ve been playing with a script and WP Plugin named Polaroid-o-nizer. It basically took any image I wanted and created a nice neat cropped polaroid out of it.

In recent light, it seems that the Polaroid Corporation may has shut down the Polaroid-o-nizer website, seeing as how they own the trademarks to the word Polaroid.

From the website:

Dear visitor,

Due to some legal issues concerning certain trademarks
we are unfortunatelly unable to continue this website
under its current name. This domain will probably
be cancelled or handed over any time soon.

Until that time you can download a copy of the script for
personal use.

questions you might have: ipod.oral@gmail.com

It really is sad to see such a large corporation with obvious legal rights over a word to attack a Wordpress Plugin with a name derived from theirs. But I suppose that’s the nature of copyrights in the first place. They have to “protect” their investments, even if that means shutting down a website operator who meant no harm in the first place.

I’ve been working diligently at getting an archive for the site. Trying plugins here and there, and then it hit me. I found Super Archives (or Live Archives).

It’s originally an idea of Michael from Binary Bonsai and then brought into reality by Jonas Rabbe, but using the CSS layout created by Michael.

So a huge thanks to both of you guys for such awesome work!

Now I ask you, go look. Leave me feedback.
